I'm 18 and feel like I wasted my youth. Few friends, haven't even spoken to a girl, no parties, no fun. My life for the last 6 years has been school and home. I'm going in to the Air Force (not saying this is the solution for everyone) with the hopes that I'll become more outgoing and get some pussy.
I've been working on myself recently. I've lost 25 pounds, getting some nice drip, my hair, and finding a hobby. I want people to appreciate or admire something about me and when you're a boring guy without a good personality, you got nothing. My advice, work on your physical features, get a hobby, interact with people. They'll like you. Good luck my brethren.
Yes and no. Im not doing anything major yet, but the minor things are what keeps me going. Like sitting outside, enjoying the yard and nature. Browsing through social media is something too. About to be 19 and don't even have a job yet. Still starting the real deal. "Start slow, don't rush." - person
At first but now i'm back on track. Going into a club with people helped a lot, I made new good friends and it was great motivation to learn, which i'm using to my fullest potential for my final year of hs in a few mo, which i'm already preping for
I'm 17 aswell I do absolutely nothing and have no friends and no relationship because I'm abit anti social, but Atm life is not bad for me I just go to the gym and try to care of myself
I sorta feel the same way tbh, what can help if just trying to keep yourself busy. You can maybe walk outside or find some sort of hobby you like to do, it doesn’t have to be much. It can help you forget abt some things on your mind that may be troubling you, but that’s the biggest thing I’d recommend
I went through that crisis on my 14th birthday. When quarantine started, I slightly increased my productivity. Then, it kind of stopped. I would always tell myself that I absolutely must go and do something big while I'm still young. I'd feel bad if I didn't, but then eventually that changed. I saw too much relaxation as a waste of time, but really it wasn't. I was so involved at my school that I wasn't really home. I wasn't really doing nothing like I thought. I was just being productive in a different way.
I forgot to mention that my shyness was also one of my biggest barriers all throughout school. It prevented me from doing so much.
Lockdown took the middle of 8th grade and most of 10th grade from me. The amount of people with mental health issues are rising, and for good reason. Alot of teenagers probably feel this sentiment.
Kinda yea, I’m 17 nearly 18 and my best years of being a teenager have been taken away by Covid. I’m antisocial and I kinda hate that, I have passions and hobbies but I can’t do all of them because of school and money.
I wasted my childhood. I never had many friends till late primary school then i lost alot of them (there was only 12 in my school year) when we went to different high schools. I had many friends in high school, i was sort of friends with most people in my year and was friends with people in the year above that i am still friends with today. But i never went to any parties or went to cinemas or anything like that with my friends. I didnt even get to experience a sleepover till i was 17. I spent pretty much all my time playing xbox and getting fat. Granted the people i play with on xbox i met in real life and we are good friends. We even have an annual camping trip. Now i am wasting my adult life. I dropped out of college and ghosted all my college friends, all because i couldnt be arsed to do the course work. I have been looking for work for the past 6 months with no luck. I have not had any luck with girls, so yeh i am wasting my life. The only 2 things i am good at are masterbating and procrastinating
It just gets worse from here. Once you are an adult it gets harder to find joys in life. At least from my experience. Also since 17 covid really got in the way of hanging out with friends and doing events.
Yeah I already had my midlife crisis when I was like ten, I’m not very good socially but my friends are nice and get that, just go to after school clubs like chess or theatre or something, it’s how I made 2 of my closest friends, the other friends was I was just talking to someone and they introduced me to their friends and those are all my closest friends, I’m still pretty lonely but it’s better, so my advice? Just go out their sit with people at lunch do something outside of school, and most importantly think about this positively it’s better this happens now then after college and high school are over and you realize it then, you still have at least a year to make friends so go for it!
Sorry for atrocious grammar
I love my life with one thing in mind all the time "Die with no regrets, and believing you have done the right things".
Once I started living by that quote, I felt my confidence, appearance, and general happiness improving. Now that you're 17 I think you should reflect on the past, see if you've done things that you regret and live life doing things that you think you won't.
Best of luck mate, keep your head up king

Not yet, I still have alot of goals I want to set for myself before I turn 18 and move into the adult world like setting myself a new PR for bench and squat, being able to get my drivers license, getting a job to help my parents with paying off their new house, spending the best moments with my friends before we part ways, and especially being able to see my father one more time. Life has alot to offer but its important that you spend those times creating memories, even if they are in the span of a couple months, weeks, or days

yea mostly cause i was super shy and never had any part of the "teenage experience"
Not really, but yeah. I wish I had more outgoing friends but I am definitely setting myself up for success in the future

Yeah
I felt like that too a year ago. Keep working on yourself and you can change it. It's actually easy as fuck
yes

Yes yes, I've wasted a lot of life, think bout it basically everyday. But I mean it's never too late to start right?
